More points in his first 5 games than McCartney

Shocking decision. That you, Ian? ...and I'm whooshed. You're ope you big silly goose!

I really like Shaw, hopefully not another young English player who's going to be ruined by injuries.

Making me a npw as well. Non-stop trouble

Still causing bother then ffs

Exactly man. Sissoko and Wijnaldum are our most dynamic midfielders, play them central behind 4 attackers and see what happens. The alternative is to repeat what we've seen so far. No, there're definitely other alternatives.

I've no problem with starting 1 of Colback/Anita/Tiote alongside either Wij/Siss. As much as it's tempting to just play Siss and Wij mid and 'Go For It!!!!!!!!!', I really, reaaaally don't see it working out, even against supposedly inferior opposition.

I wouldn't say it's that good, they've beaten Sunderland at home, West Ham away and now Villa at home. It's a canny start, but it's not out of this world. They've still got to play all of the decent sides twice. As has been said, for where they were in March, and with the not insignificant amount of chuckling about Ranieri being named manager, I'd say it has definitely been a very good start. 4 points dropped from 5 games for a team expected to be either relegated or right down there, whatever the opposition, is great.

Hope Everton or Swansea (or us!) nick 4th this year at the expense of Chelsea Spurs and Liverpool.

I imagine somewhere like Qatar will offer him something daft, and he'll snap their hands off.

:lol:

No.

:lol:

Pretty likely that he'll become most capped before he retires too.

What a great year that was..

Not even what Deuce said, but he was once voted 5th in the balloon door so..

And 6 reds btw plenty of time for him to learn what he can and can't get away with though.

That Sterling fee is looking a lot more sensible now mind

He's young, he'll be inconsistent for a while yet, it's nothing to worry about. We've all seen his potential quality when he has a good game. He's the kind who should be able to perform coming off the bench so as long as he keeps getting regular game time I've no problem with him not starting yet.

As long as we put in a decent performance there'd be no shame in losing this, got that feeling we'll get something though which is nice. 0-4 loss.

Can he take a corner?

Really hope we have a decent go in the cups. Would overlook many a crime for the rest of the league season if we do.

It's Old Trafford, if you get points it's hard to complain. Easy to say after the fact we should have been more expansive but we probably would be a point worse off right now.

Who was saying him putting his faith in Colo was going to be his undoing?

Absolutely great team performance, no passengers today. Excellent.
